Trump says under his regime the government will pay for all IVF treatments. … Maybe with the money he gets from Mexico for building the wall.

Why does Carver Gym need a college-sized basketball court of 94 feet? ASU will not be using the gym. The high school-sized court of 84 feet is all that is needed. Another example of wasting taxpayers’ money.

What a convention. Lots of crying and singing, of course. And then Oprah Winfrey, worth a cool $3 billion, tells everyone she feels oppressed in America, at her places in the Hamptons, Aspen, the New York City 5th Avenue 45th-floor penthouse, etc. Democrat hogwash.

Coroner Fowler comparing his job to coroners in Chatham (Savannah), Bibb (Macon) and Muscogee (Columbus) is not quite a good measure. The smallest of those counties has a population twice as many as Dougherty, with Chatham being about four times our size. And we are losing population. Plus, what happened two years ago with COVID is history.

On November 5th, don’t let your hatred for a man override your love of your country.

Heard and the ill-equipped gang of four continue to show their incompetence by doing away with a company that has brought millions of dollars to the table in southwest Georgia. There’s no need in trying to spin it, Little Lorenzo, we know why you want Usry out. Hint: It’s not the content of his character.

Kamala Harris wants to take your gas-powered car and force you to have an electric car. She also wants a buy-back on guns, leaving people with no way to protect themselves. No, thank you.

Democrat logic: With a net worth around $3 billion dollars, Oprah Winfrey — poor thing — says she still feels oppressed in our country.

The idea of giving college students free tuition while taxing retired citizens is the most un-American thing the Democrats have done to date.

Two children dead today in gang shooting … again and again and again. It’s easier to just offer two innocent children per week to be “Hunger Game(d)” sacrificed, bused down, delivered to your nearest crack house. Saving gas and bullets, gangs could spend more time recruiting in middle schools. When you tire of burying your children, will you do something? 

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are deceiving American voters into thinking they are running as moderate Democrats, but they are not. They are radical far-left-wing socialist extremists.

Those who continue to vote for the former president are the real suckers, as they vote for a proven loser.

SMRs, the reason there was no inflation during the Trump regime was because he didn’t create any jobs, unemployment was at 6% and he sent all of the manufacturing jobs to Mexico.

Thanks, Mr. Fowler, for doing your job. COVID-19 was hard on all of us, and you survived. You get paid $65,000 a year with a vehicle, where gasoline and servicing is provided. Receiving a stipend of $10,000 paid through the county’s General Fund is excessive.
